Kernel of Truth Fabrication

We’ve been working tirelessly to complete our installation piece for theL.A. Arboretum’supcoming “Nature of Sculpture” show! Ketti designed the initial concept and with the help of Paul Burnsweig of Metalmorphosis, we transformed a concept into reality. Starting from humble beginnings developing the concept and mock-up…

To the next stages of creating a to-scale cardboard prototype before getting into the metals…

Once everything felt good we rolled up our sleeves and got down to the nitty-gritty: cutting the aluminum pieces to roll, bend, shape, buff, polish… needless to say, it was hard work but seeing the sculpture take form kept us inspired and motivated.

The sculpture, titled the “Kernel of Truth”, will be available to view at the Los Angeles Arboretum starting April 1st through August 1st, 2015! There will be a reception April 11, 4-7pm, more details on the event can be found here.

The experiential sculpture invites visitors to enter the Kernel and consider what is at their core; what is their kernel of truth? Fun for young and old, this contemplative piece can be dissected at multiple levels. The Kernel of Truth is a moment for enigmatic contemplation and switched perspectives.
